One year ago today, we launched HuffPost Live, our live-streaming network, inviting you all to join, as I put it then, "a different kind of conversation." Our goal was to create the most social video experience possible -- allowing members of the HuffPost community to speak out on the issues that matter most to them, on equal footing with newsmakers, celebrities, pundits, and experts. Things have gone even better than we'd hoped. Since HuffPost Live launched, over 9,600 guests from more than 85 countries have joined us live on-air, and thousands more have joined the conversation via our interactive social tools, leaving 1.3 million comments on the HuffPost Live platform. If you haven't made HuffPost Live a regular part of your HuffPost diet, please check it out. And if you have, please keep watching... and letting us know what you think. Happy birthday, HuffPost Live. Here's to many, many more!

People don't want to just consume news; they want to be part of shaping the story of our time. I could tell you about all the cool features of the HuffPost Live platform, but since HuffPost Live is now just that -- live! -- why not go see for yourself?

HuffPost Live launches tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. EST -- and we couldn't be more excited. Every new launch is like a birth, full of hope and uncertainty. And a baby's first words are always remembered. The opening lines spoken on MTV were, "Ladies and gentlemen, rock 'n' roll!" When Ted Turner announced CNN, he promised the network wouldn't "be signing off until the world ends." And ESPN kicked off with, "If you're a fan, what you'll see... may convince you you've gone to sports heaven." Now we're trying to decide what our baby's first words should be. And since HuffPost Live is designed to put the HuffPost community front and center in everything we do, we thought we'd open up the discussion to you. So what do you think our opening words should be? Leave your suggestions in the comments, then tune in tomorrow morning to see if we picked yours.
